Obama Gets Bear Hug in Tour of Florida’s I-4 Corridor

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. –President Barack Obama spent the weekend on a bus tour through Florida, headlining four rallies along the Interstate-4 corridor, the swing region in this swing state. But the point of a bus tour isn’t just giving speeches; it’s stopping at coffee shops and pizza places along the way, mingling with voters, making the campaign personal (and winning some good local press along the way).

On that measure, the Obama bus tour didn’t disappoint.

On Sunday, he stopped by Big Apple Pizza & Pasta Restaurant in Fort Pierce, and was greeted by the owner who embraced him a bear hug and then lifted him off the ground.
